Bestselling Dr. Martens sandals that are 'so comfy from day one' are slashed by £42
With a new season officially here, that brings one major thing: spring sales. And Dr. Martens had reduced the price of some of their best-selling styles ahead of summer.
One style in particular that has caught shoppers' attention for being comfy and practical as well as stylish. The Gryphon Tumbled Nubuck Leather Platform Sandals have been discounted from £140 to £98 - that's a huge 30% off.
With the heatwave on its way, now is the perfect time to invest in a new pair of summer sandals, and £42 off is too good a deal to miss out on.
These sandals are the latest update of Dr Martens' iconic Gryphon sandal. So what's different? They've been given lift with a chunky Quad sole, and they're crafted from super-soft Tumbled Nubuck leather that feels just as good as it looks.
Featuring the classic Doc's details you know and love, like the signature yellow welt stitching and branded hardware, these sturdy sandals are built to last. And the beige suede upper is right on trend.
Their durability is one of their selling points and a feature that shoppers love the most. One satisfied shopper said: "For someone hard on shoes - these are perfect! Very comfortable and the thick Doc soles are perfect for all terrain. Wore them on an African adventure and they have withstood water, sand, rocks, shale and everything in between and still look like they came out the box."
Another bonus of these sandals is how comfy they are. This is not always the case with Dr Martens shoes, which often have to be broken in. However, this pair is ready to go from the get-go. A second shopper added: "Look good, feel great. No rubbing, even when out walking for hours. Wish I bought these in the black leather as well. Will do if we get a summer!"
It's worth bearing in mind that these may not work for wider feet, as shoppers have stated they can be quite tight across the width of your foot. One shopper wrote: "Look lovely, feel soft but not suitable for wide feet, sent back."
A few other sandals we're loving for the summer include the UGG Goldenstar Sandals in Chestnut, priced at £110, and the Clarks Evamar Wish Leopard Print Sandals, priced at £95.

Is it ever OK to wear flip-flops in the office? The etiquette explained
The first sandals I ever owned were made of stiff, tanned leather. I was about five. My mother bought them from Woolworths in North Cheam. The buckles were too intricate for my little fingers. They fastened around the ankle and at each of the three straps across the bridge of my foot, creating four blister zones. I got a new pair every summer as I outgrew the last and spent the warm months hobbling through holidays and summer clubs like Tiny Tim. They traumatised me. In the Eighties, when I was old enough to choose, I rejected sandals altogether and spent my paper round money on espadrilles – because that's what Sonny Crockett wore in Miami Vice. Anyone foolish enough to wear 'Jesus creepers' in that decade was labelled either a hippy or a Sunday school teacher. But times have changed, and sandals are back in vogue. The summer footwear market is booming. The entire British sandal market is projected to grow by 8.8 per cent by 2028. By 2029, Brits are forecast to be spending £790 million a year on flip-flops alone. While the majority are bought by women, men are also joining the trend – which is even having a moment with the young, thanks to Birkenstocks, Crocs, Dr Martens, and those awful oversized rubber sliders favoured by teenage e-scooter hooligans in Los Cristianos. Indeed, the sandal and its many variations have become so ubiquitous that the main problem men face now is choice. Can we wear mules? Are fisherman sandals cool, or is Timothée Chalamet having us on? Do you need a beard and a mullet to pull off clogs? Skip to: Fisherman sandals Mules Flip-flops According to the experts, older men can look stylish in the right summer footwear – but we need to tread carefully. Some of those leopard-print chunky Dr Martens are probably best left to the youngsters. 'A well-crafted sandal transcends generations and is a great staple for wardrobes of all ages. For men looking to incorporate a sandal into their everyday look, it's about finding that perfect balance between comfort and sophistication,' says Daniel Beardsworth-Shaw, creative director of Russell & Bromley. 'It's about choosing styles that reflect personal taste and feel authentic to your style.' Context plays a crucial role when choosing the right sandal, according to Beardsworth-Shaw. In an office setting, for example, sandals should be sleek and polished and paired with well-tailored chinos. For an evening out, however, the rules loosen. 'I would recommend a simple slip-on style which adds effortless sophistication to any summer outfit,' he explains. Men's stylist Nick Hems advises 'reading the room' before wearing sandals to work. 'If you work in an office where you wouldn't wear shorts to work then be careful about sandals,' he says. 'If you work in the city where you're expected to wear a suit then possibly sandals would be a no-no. But if it's a more casual office, then sandals will probably be acceptable.' If you're unsure, Hems recommends testing the waters with a pair of huarache sandals, which offer more coverage and a closed toe. 'These give you the option of less exposure while still allowing air to circulate around your feet,' he says. For celebrity inspiration, Beardsworth-Shaw singles out Woody Harrelson and Jeff Goldblum as men who rock a sandal – with a distinctive ease, balancing the relaxed nature of the style with sharp tailoring. 'They know how to pair them with light trousers or a fitted jacket, creating a look that's both casual and sophisticated,' he says. 'Pedro Pascal and David Beckham also excel at wearing summer styles with quiet elegance. They keep their summer footwear simple and elevated, letting the rest of the look do the work.' Get the fisherman look Nick wears: Leather sandals, £195, Grenson; Linen jacket, £125, Octobre Editions; Organic cotton t-shirt, £40, Asket; Chinos, £69, Hawes & Curtis While clogs and mules are still having a moment, this year's star turn is the fisherman sandal. 'They've really hit hard,' says Hems. 'They're a more versatile sandal. You can wear them somewhere smart with a pair of linen trousers or go a bit more casual with shorts. Because they are more strappy, they offer a bit more coverage.' And coverage is key here – because of your feet. Have you looked at them lately? Sadly, the freedom of the open-toed isn't so promising if your feet look like roadkill. Unloved, overused and burdened with malady, men are serial feet neglecters. A bunion, a fungal infection in retreat, a missing toenail, odd tufts of toe hair sprouting like weeds through otherwise parched and cracked earth. We don't do pedicures as a rule – releasing our decrepit tootsies into the wild is cruel and inhuman. 'A pedicure is a good idea. If that seems too much, at least make sure you are moisturised, your toenails are cut and your feet look as good as they can before you present them to the world,' advises Hems. Step into style with mules Nick wears: Suede clogs, £79, Dune; Linen shirt, £98, Reiss; Cotton linen blend shorts, £25, Marks & Spencer The good news for those whose feet are beyond repair is that the once-derided combo of sandal and sock has become socially acceptable – as long as you follow the rules. 'I often wear a sock and sandal combination,' says Beardsworth-Shaw. 'A lightweight, neutral-toned sock – beige, grey or navy – adds a touch of modernity. Done well, it creates a relaxed yet elevated European-inspired look.' 'It's definitely a younger person thing,' says Hems, 'but it's creeping through the generations. It's becoming more acceptable for older guys too.' The key is matching. A chunky clog? Pair it with a ribbed sock. A refined sandal? Choose a dress sock in a muted tone. No novelty patterns. No sport socks with stripes. You're not in Magaluf. If all this sounds like too much, there are alternatives. 'Espadrilles are perfect when you want something more polished than a sandal,' Beardsworth-Shaw says. Closed-toe, canvas or woven material, and endlessly versatile – espadrilles are a kind of gateway shoe for the sandal-curious. 'They work beautifully with tailored trousers or a light blazer,' he adds. Hems also recommends leather or suede driving shoes – like Tods – for the man who wants the summer feel without the exposure. 'They're great for someone more refined in their style who doesn't want to wear a sandal but still wants light footwear.' Flip-flops, done right Nick wears: Leather flip flops, £125, Russell & Bromley; Recycled cotton blend shirt, £95, Octobre Editions; Linen trousers, £150, Asket As for flip-flops – wear with caution. Beardsworth-Shaw allows them for barbecues and beaches, 'but they're rarely the right choice for anything more polished.' There is no one-size-fits-all answer to summer footwear – but if you're going to get your trotters out, show restraint, buy wisely and book a pedicure.

They are comfy, work with everything, and can wear them for hours." Someone else added how they were 'easy to wear' and don't 'rub'. They wrote a five star review that read: "Love love love these DMS ! Easy to wear, didn't rub my feet and I got the size I am. Size 6. I've had to go up half size in a DM boot.

It's important to note that the sandals are made from soft leather, so they're likely to loosen up a bit over time the more they're worn.
